Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I hosted people, i love meeting people-meeting new people-answering emails, I surfed twice etc etc
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Great so far, even though I only hosted people. All the people I met via Couchsurfing were nice so far!
IMPORTANT: it's wintertime and it seems that everybody is coming to osaka, I get really many couch requests every day, just wanted to say I am sorry for not being able to reply to all of them.
Sorry, coz to be honest I was just a bit disappointed about the difficulty to get a couch, I surfed only twice, and I couldnt imagine it was so difficult to be hosted.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I saw a giant japanese cockroach in my bed, he want to sleep in my bed before me . he is clever like japanese. so I give him my bed and I went to another hostel.
am good italian I care cockroach they are petty and so disgusting too
- was traffic police and helped the rangers 2008 in the worst duststorm at burning man.(still have some playadust in my ears)

- went to the Donkey show in Tijuana, Mexico and then the mexican police caught me

-went to hospital in tokyo and was roomate with a copkiller there

-bedsurfed accidently the bed where an old woman died a few days before

-kidnapped a chinese worker in car wash in osaka by accident

- smuggled depeche mode and modern talking posters from west germany to east germany in the 80s

Teach, Learn, Share

Cooking italian food, open a bottle of beer with unappropriate objects.

and I can teach how to become a shaolin jedi knight without sweating while the whole process

Also I can teach you who to survive the nightlife and alternative tourist attractions in dotonbori, which is really exhausting because there is much to do....
I like to show bunkers and abandomed buildings, art galleries in and around. if there is time..
Of course I also like to teach people japanese, history of japan and japanese culture. And I like to give vintage clothes shopping tours (although osaka is not such a good place as London for this)
I especially like to introduce people to music and movies of which they have probably never heard before (like turkish, indonesian or mexican 70s trashmovies)
